This article aims to understand the social function of the Normal School in the present time. Therefore, an empirical research was carried out with graduates from a school of this modality, linked to the Department of Education of the Rio de Janeiro (SEEDUC-RJ). We sought to investigate the professional and academic destiny of these young graduates from such an institution, especially if they are exercising the teaching profession. What would be the social relevance of teacher training at a secondary level in the historical time of the third decade of the 21st century? Although the training modality is compressed by the Brazilian educational legislation to no longer exist in the medium or long term, we conclude that the young teachers trained by the Escola Normal still play a role in forming a workforce that will be destined to work in peripheral private schools or to assume functions that have been displaced from their training and that have lower salary
